Top 5 Dog Trainers in Forfar

This man is a miracle worker. I took my 9 month old wcs to Mick to help with basic training , the dog’s worst problem was pulling on lead, Within 10 minutes Mick had him walking to heel. Training me took a wee bit longer but got there eventually. I still have a lot of work to do but now know what to do. I cannot praise Mick enough and would recommend him for all sorts of training and behavioural issues.

Mick was a god send for my 7 month old retriever puppy with the problems i am having with recall. First lesson sorted me out as it seemed i was letting dog away with few things second lesson fingers crossed been solved. Its also great that i can text or call him for help. Money and time well spent would highly recommended he has patients of a saint . Thank you

We have a very energetic 9 month old WCS called Rip. He was pulling on the lead, making walking a challenge rather than a pleasurable experience for us! Recall was at the early stages. Two sessions with Mick with some homework tasks and it’s like having a different dog. He now walks to heel when required and is great off lead, returning when whistled. We can now confidently say that our dog is “trained to the whistle”. Mick has a firm but fair teaching style(for both pup and human😂). I enjoyed the training tips Mick shared as well as the practical walking sessions we did. I have already recommended Mick to others and will continue to do so. Top quality service producing great results!!

We went to see Mick with our 3 year old boistorous springer spaniel who pulled on the lead and had zero recall. We'd seen a few trainers before Mick with no luck in these areas, so had given up hope. It's night and day after seeing Mick and we just took our dog out off lead for the first time with confidence today thanks to the guidance he gave us. He is also walking nicely on lead now which we didn't think was possible. This will really be life changing for us and our dog, who will definitely have a much happier life running around off lead. Thanks so much again. Suzie & Chris

I contacted Working Canines as I was having issues with my 4 month old WCS. She’s a sweet girl with a great energy but she pulled on the lead so much I was worried I was going to end up causing her damage. I went for my first session with Mick, who taught me how to correct my pup properly and had her walking to heel within one session. After being back for my second session, she’s almost foot perfect with me on my own. I’m now able to have her off lead and staying close to me and even walking to heel when I need her to. Mick’s knowledge and experience makes him the perfect trainer for gun dog breeds and their owners. As Wren is my first gun dog, I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing by her and Mick has, without doubt, given me the confidence I needed. I now have a lovely, energetic but engaging pup who is biddable and well behaved. Cannot recommend Working Canines enough!!

I took my rescue dog for a snuffle spot at Laura's facility recently and I think it's a fabulous initiative. I think my dog was a little unsure but he definitely appreciated the chicken treats. I'm definitely going back for more sessions because it will help build up my dog's confidence. He's a sniffer dog, so I've booked him in for a scent work session as well which sounds like a lot of fun. Laura is a lovely person and very easy to talk to so I highly recommend her facilities.

We have 2 goldies. One is 4 weeks post-op from a cruciate ligament operation and he is only allowed walk leads for 6-10 weeks. He was getting very fed up. My daughter found out about Laura and the Snuffle sessions, and it has been a absolute dog saver, and us! One very happy dog, who thoroughly enjoys snuffling, and has also dramatically increased their sniffing when out for lead walks. Our other dog is a nervous rescue and she loved going in. Both dogs took to Laura straight away and went for cuddles. We are going twice a week at the moment, but will continue to go weekly when our goldie has recovered from his op. She is also so knowledgeable about dogs and is going to help with his "lunging" forwards on a lead, due to his excitement in meeting people and dogs. Highly recommend taking your dogs to a Snuffle session, or one of her other sessions.

Tiggy and I learnt so much from Laura's brilliant sessions. We attended Reliable Recall and got lots of great training tips which really do work. Laura level of support is incredible- at the sessions, her written material, and the clips we had access to. Laura's venue is also brilliant. Would highly recommend going to this professional, experienced, and lovely trainer!

Laura was very accommodating and fitted us into her schedule that was suitable for myself which I am grateful for. Laura was aware that my collie can be reactive to humans and Laura worked so well around him that he never even noticed her. We had a great time doing scentwork and we will be back for more 121 and group working. I would recommend Laura.

We had an amazing time at a snuffle spot session with Laura. So much for Kara my puppy to investigate and play with. She really got a lot out of it - she was asleep within minutes of leaving! Really great idea! Thanks Laura 🐶

Dougal, our Romanian rescue dog came to us over two years ago with a number of behaviour problems. Paul's expert advice and training regimes have been invaluable in transforming him into a wonderful pet and companion. Attending the weekly Wolfspeak classes has been an absolute joy, watching Dougal and the other dogs develop week by week under Paul's guidance. Great results with a highly knowledgeable trainer. We would highly recommend Wolfspeak.

Wolfspeak is a very professional dog training school Pauls knowledge and experience is of the highest quality whether your dog has an issue or you just want a well trained dog look no further than WOLFSPEAK

What a difference in such a short time! I'd tried a few trainers and was beginning to lose confidence and feel rather confused by their radically different approaches (as was Hamish). When I started classes with Wolfspeak however, it was like an epiphany! Paul's balanced and calm approach immediately put us at our ease and everything started to make sense and fall into place. His vast knowledge and many years of experience and dedication clearly shine through in his incredible ability to instill calm confidence in both dog and handler alike. It is also very refreshing and clear to see that Paul and his amazing helpers Susan and Gavin, really genuinely care about every dog that attends their sessions. Hamish is making great progress now and we're really looking forward to continuing our journey with Wolfspeak.

Cannot recommend these classes highly enough. Paul has an extensive knowledge and experience of dog behaviour and training methods and is also an excellent and supportive trainer to both dogs and their owners. I have learnt a lot not only with my own dog but by watching Paul work with other owners of dogs with a varied range of behaviours. Bertha loves these sessions and squeaks with excitement when we enter cairnie car park! She has learnt to cope with a wide range of situations in a safe environment and well socialised . Thanks to Paul, his helpers and the friends I’ve made at classes my over excitable, nervous ball of fluff is now a well balanced, confident happy dog who loves life, is my constant companion and best friend.
